This work develops an exact converging algorithm for the solution of a distributed optimization problem with partially-coupled parameters across agents in a multi-agent scenario. In this formulation, while the network performance is dependent on a collecti ...
Current indicator-based sustainability assessment approaches usually have three shortcomings: (i) ecological as- pects are mostly overrepresented in relation to importance and complexity of economic and social aspects; (ii) they center on filling important ...
A fundamental element of a federated state is the division of power between a central government and the component states. Switzerland is a federation consisting of twenty-six sovereign states named canton. Each canton has its own government and parliament ...
The post-industrial European city is characterized by dispersed urbanization, resulting in increased travel, substantial use of land, social disparities and costs that are unsustainable in the long term. Consequently, most European countries have set the g ...
This work develops a decentralized adaptive strategy for throughput maximization over peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. The adaptive strategy can cope with changing network topologies, is robust to network disruptions, and does not rely on central processors. T ...
This paper develops a framework for evaluating sustainability assessment methods by separately analyzing their normative, systemic and procedural dimensions as suggested by Wiek and Binder [Wiek, A, Binder, C. Solution spaces for decision-making – a sustai ...
In the context of sustainable densification of post-industrial European cities, urban wasteland regeneration projects offer an important potential of surfaces to recapture. Indeed, these projects can contribute concurrently to densify and revitalize existi ...
A good measurement system improves capability to identify the behavior of civil engineering structures. This paper presents a measurement-system design approach for continuous monitoring of structures. This approach performs two tasks: (1) determining the ...
Résumé : Les procédés agroalimentaires sont des procédés industriels consommateurs de grandes quantités d’énergie, aussi bien de refroidissement que de chauffage. Il est donc intéressant d’optimiser cette consommation. L’analyse pinch, méthode systématique ...
